Israel holds thousands of Palestinian hostages, including children. The Israeli regime starves them, beats them, tortures them, sexually abuses them, deprives them of medical treatment & murders them. But the UK mainstream media rarely (if ever) talks about these hostages.

This is something I struggle with. I appreciate that men want models of how to be. But when we try to populate “positive masculinity” with traits — strong, smart, kind — they are all equally available to women. Masculinity and femininity are empty concepts, absent gender hierarchy.
